Henderson, N.C. — Dozens of new charges were filed this week against a former Vance County employee who was arrested earlier this month on charges that she embezzled more than $300,000 in county funds.

Christa Harris Reavis, 41, was initially arrested Aug. 8 on 29 counts of forgery and a count of embezzlement. She was rearrested on Tuesday on 49 counts of forgery and counterfeiting and 78 counts of uttering a forged instrument.

Reavis, who worked in the county finance office, also is charged with felony larceny stemming from the disappearance of a bag containing more than $60,000 worth of checks from the county tax office back in 2009.
